There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

What the hell? The EPA started ordering some of its departments to immediately halt publishing research reports. I'm convinced the Trump regime is trying to kill us.

DAILY MIRROR: Grenfell as a stark reminder: Accountability is lost while the marginalised suffer in a society prioritising the powerful. - by Brian Reade

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do. They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

I was talking last night in Durham about how six of nine identified #PlanetaryBoundaries have been crossed. Seems, sadly, with #oceanacidification, we might soon have to lift that figure to seven phys.org/news/2025-06...

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

It was Netanyahu who dropped bombs on Tel Aviv, don't forget that. There was no threat before he attacked.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Imagine. #FuckIsrael

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

The only way this is going to end is with Israel backing down or Donald Trump launching into another Afghanistan style war that will end with the USA's defeat, after losing thousands of soldiers and hundred of billions of dollars.

Trooping the Colour, how much do you pay for this ridiculous charade? £20,000,000 That is 800 Nurses, 500 Doctors or 1000 Teachers. We need all of them, we don't need this.

I am absolutely horrified by the scenes in Liverpool. My thoughts are with everybody affected. Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart — it is a city of unique strength, spirit and unity. Tonight and always, you’ll never walk alone.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

President Paul von Hindenburg of Germany thought he could reach out to the Far Right and move them to the centre by making Adolf Hitler Chancellor. Look how that turned out, you can see Hitler smirking, he can't believe they are helping him.

Do you know what annoys me? Politicians who are privatising the NHS, pointing fingers at other politicians who want to privatise it (in a different way). There’s more than one way to mine the NHS for profit! 🚨

It’s not hyperbolic to say that the proposed disability benefits cuts will cost lives. This week, I met with young disabled people who are terrified that they will be driven to homelessness and even suicide. Our government must do the right thing and reverse this policy.

I get told “give Labour a chance!” “Where did you expect them to get us, in ten months?” If someone is driving in the wrong direction, you point it out before they reach their destination. They have poor plans for the NHS, and are increasing privatisation. I’m not waiting 5 years to talk about it🚨

It's a similar story elsewhere. This isn't a wealth gap, this is evidence that should be used in a prosecution.

Forget Dad’s Army writes Andrew Chatterton. In 1940, Britain built a real secret army: young farmers, blacksmiths and gamekeepers trained to sabotage and assassinate invading Germans. Their life expectancy? Two weeks. Most never told a soul.

I’m proud to be one of 42 Labour MPs saying loud and clear: disability benefit cuts are cruel & indefensible. I refuse to stand by while the most vulnerable in our society are targeted. We must protect those most in need, not abandon them. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The mega-rich are accelerating their accumulation in readiness for collapse. The 19 richest households in the US increased their wealth by $1 trillion last year, a rise exceeding the size of Switzerland's entire economy; a wealth grab they hope will insulate them from collapse. It won't. For long.

‘This is not a political party. It is not democratically organised and run. It is administered as a business, and volunteers are treated as employees. You will pledge your loyalty absolutely, you will not speak unless spoken to, and you will do what you are told.’ Very good interesting read

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Under Labour’s welfare cuts, 1.3 million people with cancer, arthritis and other diseases could lose PIP. They could have just made the very wealthiest pay their fair share. What an absolute disgrace that they are choosing to make life harder for disabled people instead.

I’ve never known a single trade deal in human history to be signed for the benefit of workers. Trade deals are signed with the boss man’s interests in mind.
